“Were you called while being a servant? Do not be concerned; but if you can be made free, rather use it. For he who is called in the Lord while a slave is the Lord’s freedman. Likewise, he who is called while free is Christ’s slave” (1 Corinthians 7:21–22). When Apostle Paul wrote these words, […]
At the end of the alphabet and at the heart of lasting, intelligent love, stands zeal: the consistent care, dedication and passion invested in keeping a relationship alive and thriving. To show zeal means to guard against neglect and complacency – from how you communicate with your partner, to the respect you show them, and […]
Every healthy relationship should bear good fruit. Just as a tree is known by its fruits, love is proven not by empty words, but by the results it produces over time. When love is intelligent, it yields patience, kindness, trust, respect and unity. These are the fruits that nourish a relationship and strengthen it year […]
Love isn’t just about what you say; it’s especially about what you show. Being an example in your relationship means living out the values, behaviours and principles you believe in, rather than just demanding them from your partner. The strongest bonds are built when both inspire each other through their actions. It’s a simple principle: […]
Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “Maybe I was just meant to suffer?” It’s a thought many people carry silently. Sorrow can be so heavy that it strips life of its meaning. For some, sorrow comes after a broken marriage or family conflicts that never seem to end. For others, it may be an illness, […]
More than feelings, intelligent love is about choices. And for those choices to be good, they must be guided by wisdom. Without wisdom, passion can lead to misunderstandings and poor decisions, resulting in unnecessary conflicts. Wisdom allows couples to grow in harmony instead of strife. The Bible clearly states in Proverbs 24:3, “Through wisdom a […]
A strong and lasting relationship is built on a foundation of shared values. While physical attraction and shared common interests can spark a connection, it’s the alignment of deeper principles – such as faith, integrity and life goals – that truly sustains love over the long term. In a relationship, sharing values means living according […]
In life, we cross paths with many people, but only a few leave a lasting impression. The Bible reminds us of this when it says, “…there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother” (Proverbs 18:24). When difficulties arise, they don’t just offer words – they show up, they care, and they remain. That’s […]
Last Thursday at the Cathedral of Miracles, we experienced another special evening of Love Therapy, continuing with the theme “Combating a Bland Love Life.” Bishop James and Helena Marques reminded us that words have power in a relationship. They can bring flavour and life, or leave things tasteless and strained. Using Colossians 4:6 as the foundation, “Let your […]
The Bible teaches us in Proverbs 4:7: “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.” Love without understanding can quickly lead to frustration. To truly connect with someone, it’s essential to see things from their perspective. Understanding doesn’t necessarily mean agreement; rather, it means valuing the other person’s […]
